France is a place that developed an appreciation for anime long before the US! (Italy too.)

Awesome, very interesting. I find this direct feedback with readers brutal to creators but wonderful for their stories. In case of Western/American productions I have a feeling, the decisions are taken by a team without connection to outer world, or by some shady marketing researches, which don't represent anything. Also: in Western world, people are often afraid of experimenting. They better do another sequel, and even if boring, but viewers will come, because they enjoy recognizability. But this feedback loop of serving recognizability between creators and viewers brings nothing original and stupidify (pardon my French) the audience.
